Recognising that amazing food and wine are integral to memorable travel experiences, Raffles Hotels & Resorts have a range of unique dining options that immerse guests in the best of local cuisine.

Raffles Istanbul

Private dining in the two Michelin starred celebrity chef Sergi Arola’s Arola restaurant in Raffles Istanbul, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Guests are invited to enjoy an evening in the 12 person private dining room with its own kitchen where Omar Mallen Mosquera, chef de cuisine, cooks for the guests. For celebrations, the private dining room of Arola is the best place to savour their creative Spanish tapas and main dishes or make an entirely individual menu for the event.

Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris

Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris has designed a special and exclusive gourmet experience for its guests: A taste of Paris. During this culinary journey, the executive chef Laurent André takes care of his guests offering them a genuine Parisian breakfast at Le Bar Long, a tour of local markets and regional producers, private cooking classes at the one Michelin Star restaurant Il Carpaccio, and finally, a tasting of their masterpieces with wine pairings.

Raffles Jakarta

The Art’s Café at Raffles Jakarta redefines a favourite Singaporean dish, the Chili Crab. Mud crabs are commonly used and stir-fried in a semi-thick, sweet yet savoury tomato and chilli based sauce. It is traditionally eaten with bare hands as a means to savour the juicy crab meat. The Raffles Jakarta culinary team has created a new Chilli Crab experience, where guests can enjoy the fresh Chilli Crab in a slightly more elegant fashion! The Raffles Jakarta version of Chili Crab uses the freshest King crab meat enveloped in a soft charcoal brioche, smothered in tomato chili gravy.

Raffles Dubai

Aptly described by chef Corrado Pani at Solo Bistronomia as “almost like a beautiful palette cleanser,” the Solo Limone is made out of seven different textures of lemon from jelly to powder, sorbet to mousse. A true piece of art by a true culinary master, chef Corrado’s signature dessert at Raffles Dubai has received rave reviews from a well-versed crowd of foodies and culinary connoisseurs. Designed as light yet flavourful, with a touch of yuzu caviar as a garnish, a tart dessert was never so refreshing.

Raffles Singapore

The annual New Year Eve’s Gala Ball at Raffles Singapore is a well-loved tradition that has remained on the hotel’s social calendar since the early 1900s. For decades, the lobby was the main dining room that doubled as a dancing hall where balls and skating parties took place. Commemorating this significant tradition, guests are invited to welcome the new year amidst the colonial surroundings of the hotel lobby. The celebratory evening will commence with guests enjoying delicate butler-passed canapés whilst sipping delicious champagne complete with a specially crafted 6-course dinner.

Raffles Makati
